At Compass Law, formerly known as Pates Law Group, we emphasize the importance of preparing clients for what lies ahead, both during their cases and in their future. We listen carefully to our clients, answer their questions, explain their rights, return calls promptly and keep them informed about the status of their cases.

When representing a client we do so with an understanding of what is at stake and have a deep sense of commitment to the client we serve. We limit our practice to Family and Criminal Law allowing us to devote our knowledge, expertise and combined experience of over 40 years, to tirelessly pursuing the best outcome for our valued client.
